Amazon Fire HD 8 (8th Gen): Screen works but touch is disabled

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 03:27:36 -0700

Hi, my Fire 8 8th gen works well in every way, except that the screen does not respond to touch of any kind, in any part of the screen. once fully booted up, the volume and power buttons are fine but reset / re-booting has made no difference - the screen ignores all touches, single, multiple etc.

I suspect a repair is possible - possibly just a connector has worked loose - but in any case, can anyone say if I could use a recent model teardown to investigate, or if this gen is fundamentally different from the earlier models in the way the build is constructed? Or, is this a more ominous sign and screen replacement is necessary? Thanks for any suggestions ..

I dropped my amazon fire HD 8 in soapy water. I cleaned it off, put it in rice, and held it charging port side down but whenever it try to charge it, it goes to 1% and turns off later. I don't know what to do!
